are you getting proper rest and nutrition? a month of heavy lifting wont cause over training. not a fan of your routine thoughNutraceutical Innovations

Seems pretty hardcore to me, but if you're feeling good stock with it. If your body reacts negatively, then back off a bit.

A lot goes into reaching a state of over training. Training a body part twice a week won't get you there by default. There are other considerations such as volume, relative intensity, rest, nutrition, etc. I would wager you're not close but we'd need much more info to determine the liklihood

An actual overtrained state can be hard to recover from. It can have effects on the physical body and CNS that just have it not recovering and or changing the physical/mental states ie: anything from low moods depression, to colds, or flu more often, higher blood pressure loss of appetite, sleeplessness, loss of libido etc. etc.
Most routines/programs have "cycles' in which you start out with quite manageable weights, while building over time/weeks/months with more weight and intensity, to peak out with greater strength & mass at the end of the cycle. Afterwards take a break, do some lighter work and regroup to another cycle/program. This is why it is not always wise making up your own routines as they are not as prosperous as using a proven written one.

Honestly, without seeing what % of 1rm you are using, how many reps and how many sets, nobody can even guess if there is the potential for overtraining. But even a 6 day split isn't anything special or exceptionally taxing by itself. Arm day is just about like a day off, you are only working a tiny % of your lean mass that day.

Imagine if I posted this, for example (An example routine):
and then asked someone to tell me if I was overtraining or not. If people said yes, how would they know? Maybe my chest routine was only 3 pushups per day. In that case, that routine would not cause overtraining or in fact wouldn't qualify as training at all.
